Trump Organization lawyer Michael Cohen tells Our Town that he's going to challenge State Senator Liz Krueger in the Democratic primary next year. He "wants to tap into voters’ anti-incumbency mood, especially toward those in Albany" and says the Senate coup was the "precipitating factor," adding, “Somebody needs to step up to the plate and almost teach these senators the right way to balance a budget.” Cohen, who once switched to the Republican party for a failed City Council run, also said that none of the current Senators would last working under Trump, "He’d fire the entire lot, lock, stock and barrel."
